Use of regular and Irregular verbs in speaking and writing simple sentences

Hello grade 3 pupils! Today we’re going to talk about using regular and irregular verbs in our sentences.

First, let’s start with regular verbs. Regular verbs are words that follow a specific pattern when we add -ed to the end of the base form of the verb to create the past tense.

For example, the verb “walk” is a regular verb. If we want to talk about something that happened in the past, we add -ed to the end of “walk” to make it “walked.” Here’s an example sentence:

• I walked to school yesterday.

The verb “clean” is also a regular verb. If we want to talk about something that happened in the past, we add -ed to the end of “clean” to make it “cleaned.” Here’s an example sentence:

• My mom cleaned the kitchen last night.

Now let’s talk about irregular verbs. Irregular verbs don’t follow the same pattern as regular verbs when we create the past tense. Instead, they change in different ways.

For example, the verb “go” is an irregular verb. If we want to talk about something that happened in the past, we don’t add -ed. Instead, we use the past tense form “went.” Here’s an example sentence:

• I went to the park with my friends yesterday.

The verb “eat” is also an irregular verb. If we want to talk about something that happened in the past, we don’t add -ed. Instead, we use the past tense form “ate.” Here’s an example sentence:

• We ate pizza for dinner last night.

So, in summary, regular verbs follow a specific pattern when we create the past tense by adding -ed, while irregular verbs change in different ways to create the past tense.

Remember, it’s important to use the correct past tense form of the verb when we’re speaking or writing in order to communicate our ideas clearly

Some examples of regular and irregular verbs with simple sentences using them in the past tense:

Regular Verbs:

• Walk – I walked to the store.
• Talk – She talked to her teacher after class.
• Jump – The kids jumped over the puddle.
• Watch – We watched a movie last night.
• Cook – My mom cooked dinner for us.

Irregular Verbs:

• Go – I went to the park with my friends.
• Eat – He ate a sandwich for lunch.
• Drink – She drank a glass of milk before bed.
• Swim – They swam in the pool all afternoon.
• Run – We ran a race at the school carnival.

Remember, regular verbs follow a specific pattern when we add -ed to make the past tense, while irregular verbs don’t follow the pattern and have a unique past tense form
